Don, I noticed that -- for revenues, anyway -- the link for " ebay 'Sold' values" brings up "completed" listings, not "sold" listings. This means that a lot of unsold items are included (many more than actual sold items), with asking prices that are essentially useless because they attracted no buyers, even if they aren't ridiculously overstated. Nonetheless, the Popup Stamp Tool is another great resource that you're providing to collectors!

Thanks Rusty; fixed this issue and it now returns just 'sold' listings.

Also added several new fields and an additional linked field. The new linked field is #13 shown below. The date shown is the issue date but when user clicks on this it takes them to the postal rate for that date.

Very nice Don. But I couldn't find any of the special printings (Official Specimens) using any of the search possibilities;
Find by Catalogue number
Find by year, or
Find by description.
Is this something that you will be adding?

Hi littleriverphil,
I have not started on the 'deep' back of book (Specimens, proofs, beer stamps etc.) material. I am currently elbows deep into trying to port the entire website to a responsive design that will display well on tablets and smart phones. The responsive web design represents many months of grunt coding so I occasionally spend time on other features. I will start looking into the deeper back of book items but please don't expect to see anything for a month or two.

Don, thanks much for the fix to the "sold listings" feature. For me, it's a very useful (and interesting) tool.

I have a question about the revenue catalog numbers in the pull-down list. There are numbers listed such as R1ca, R1cb, etc. There are many many instances of this throughout the first issues. What are these numbers? I don't see them at all in the U.S. Specialized. For example, what is the difference between R1cd and R1d? Are you assigning a sub-letter for every sub-listing, many of which are merely listings for pairs or blocks of 4? I'm guessing this must be an automatic thing?

Ut oh, I'll have to revisit this issue. For now, I'll blame my wife (who did the majority of the data entry for us) since she isn't around to argue! Will have an update with these fixed by end of day, sorry.
Don
